Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Use corn or flour tortillas that are fresh and pliable. If the tortillas are too dry or brittle, they will crack when you try to roll them.
  • Don't overfill the chimichangas: If you put too much filling in the chimichangas, they will be difficult to roll and seal. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per chimichanga.
  • Seal the chimichangas tightly: After you have filled the chimichangas, be sure to seal them tightly so that the filling doesn't leak out. You can use a toothpick or a fork to seal the edges of the tortillas.
  • Fry the chimichangas until they are golden brown: When you are frying the chimichangas, be sure to heat the oil to a medium-high temperature. This will help the chimichangas cook quickly and evenly. Fry the chimichangas for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the chimichangas with your favorite toppings: There are many different toppings that you can serve with chimichangas, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or cheese. You can also serve chimichangas with a side of rice or beans.
